Understanding overnight skin regeneration
Dermatologist Mahajan at Apollo Hospital, Delhi (India) said that the skin regeneration process occurs strongly when you sleep. This is the time when the skin is more susceptible to active ingredients, as the body increases blood circulation and helps repair damage from UV rays and pollution.
Applying anti-aging cream before bed will help the active ingredients penetrate deeper and promote better effectiveness. However, you need to be patient and use it for a long time to see the results.
Ingredients to include in anti-aging cream
For anti-aging cream to be most effective, the product needs to contain strong ingredients that have been scientifically proven:
Retinol (Department of Vitamin A): Helps increase cell regeneration and stimulate collagen production, reducing wrinkles.
Hyaluronic acid: Provides moisture to the skin, helping the skin to be plump and soft.
Peptides: Regenerate and restore skin, promote collagen and elastin production for firmer and more youthful skin.
Niacinamide (Vitamin B3): Anti-inflammatory, improves elasticity and evenens skin tone.
Antioxidants (Vitamines C, E and green tea extract): Protect the skin from oxidative stress and fight free radicals that cause premature aging.
Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA) and Beta Hydroxy Acid (BHA): Exfoliates, helps brighten and smooth the skin.
Ingredients such as hyaluronic acid and glycerin can fill the skin, reducing the appearance of fine lines immediately. Exfoliants help smooth and brighten skin the next morning.
Some polyurhan creams can temporarily create a firm effect, reducing wrinkles. However, to see a clear improvement in skin texture and elasticity, you need to use the product continuously for a few weeks or even a few months.
How to maximize the effectiveness of nighttime skin care
For maximum effectiveness, you should wash your skin before applying ice cream to help your skin absorb the product better. Apply cream while your skin is still moist and avoid applying too much, as this can clog pores. Regular use of the product is an important factor to achieve long-term benefits.
In addition, to support skin regeneration, make sure you get a good night's sleep (7-8 hours) and drink enough water to maintain skin elasticity.
By choosing the right anti-aging cream and using it scientifically, you will help your skin stay youthful and healthy for a long time.
